Was there an area near Dunskeig Hill or in Clachan named "Cregnavullin"? The 1841 census gives Cregnavullin as Archibald Darroch's residence, but I cannot find it. Do you have any idea where I might find or confirm its location?

HelloIf you google "A DARROCH SEARCH" "Frank Darroch" you should get to a story of another Darroch family member trying to find Archibald’s homestead (and much more). There is some detail there on its possible location. Roy’s Highlands map shows a Dunskieg near Clachan http://maps.nls.uk/geo/roy/ Archibald was married to my ggg grandfather’s sister, Mary Milloy.
